So, for the past couple of days, we've been seeing various leaks and renders of the upcoming LG G6. The rumors suggest that LG has given up on the modular concept, which was introduced with the G5 and widely ignored by the general public, and is moving to a more conventional take, evolving the G5's shapes.

Now, another leak sheds some more light on what LG may have in store for us. According to the anonymous report, the G6 will sport a glass panel on its back, and what some call a “2.5D display” on the front. Don't worry, 2.5D isn't something mind-bogglingly techy — it's just a way to describe a glass panel, which goes almost fully end to end, leaving almost no side bezels, and is arched in a way that makes it transition seamlessly into the phone's body. That very arch is why the term 2.5D was coined. Not entirely accurate, but hey — neither is “4D cinema”.

Back to the G6 rumors, the leakster says that we will be seeing wireless charging and water-resistance added to LG's flagship — long overdue features, especially considering that the manufacturer has Samsung's Galaxy phones to compete with. Display size is said to remain the same as the one on the G5 – 5.3 inches. Maybe the G6 will be slightly more compact, then?

I agree about battery life. I don't care for LG's gimmicky approach since the LG G3, which I loved at first until I got fed up with its feeble battery life. I only buy phones now that have 2-day battery life, like the Lenovo Zuk series, the Meizu Pro 5, Xiaomi Mi 5 and the Xiaomi Redmi 3S. Why pay more for barely one day of battery life??!!

Sounding great in the looks department. Whatever you do though, don't buy an AT&T model. They will always be about 6 months behind with their software updates because they don't give a damn about their customers and would rather you buy a new phone to get the latest version of Android.
